Title: "cannot refresh whilst network offline" bug Status in packagekit package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In Ubuntu Impish, an issue has been noted in regards to refreshing packages in Plasma Discover for upgrade or installation. An error appears upon initialization of the Discover interface: "cannot refresh whilst network offline" This will happen regardless of if a system is online or not. I identified a race condition in which this is occurring on systems where packagekitd is initialized before the network service is online. This was a relatively easy fix and required adding one line to the packagekit.service file: Wants=network-online.target This ensures that packagekitd is not initialized prior to being online. If the 90 second deadline isn't met, then packagekitd will simply not start as a background process until the user connects to the network and initializes it via a graphical utility, such as with GNOME Software or Plasma Discover, both of which initialize packagekitd on a user level. The attached patch will easily apply the fix via normal Debian packaging methods. Unfortunately, the upstream PackageKit maintainers seem to be unwilling to apply this fix themselves, seeing it as not an issue per https://github.com/PackageKit/PackageKit/issues/336 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 21.10 Package: packagekit 1.2.2-2ubuntu1 [modified: lib/systemd/system/packagekit.service] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.13.0-14.14-lowlatency 5.13.1 Uname: Linux 5.13.0-14-lowlatency x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: zfs zunicode zavl icp zcommon znvpair nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu68 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: unknown CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Thu Sep 9 16:34:12 2021 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-03-20 (172 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Studio 21.04 "Hirsute Hippo" - Alpha amd64 (20210320) SourcePackage: packagekit UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to impish on 2021-06-13 (88 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/packagekit/+bug/1943189/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
